Description of manuscript content:
This manuscript is Jātaka or a story of the Buddha’s past life given to his disciples. (Fascicle 8) Sīvaiya gave birth to a son and a daughter.

However, the citizens of Videha were unhappy about the decision and drove Sīvijaya, his wife, and his children away from the city.

My handwriting is not beautiful. Monks and novices who use it for preaching or copying are suggested considering it carefully and correcting any mistakes left. Because widows and women are coming around, I could barely concentrate on copying the palm-leaf manuscript.
